In July, TCAT and the Toronto Cyclists Union hosted Transportation Alternatives' Deputy Director, Noah Budnick, to give a series of talks in Toronto. A few weeks ago, Transportation Alternatives continued to take transportation advocacy to a new level, preparing and releasing a report titled Suburbanizing the City: How New York City Parking Requirements Lead to More Driving
This study finds that New York City’s residential off-street parking requirements encourage car ownership and use, and contradict City sustainability goals which seek to reduce traffic, air pollution and carbon emissions. The parking requirements also undermine city policies which seek to improve public transit and conditions for cycling and walking. Furthermore, the study reveals that New York City’s parking policy is ad-hoc and not consistent with sustainability goals or efforts to reduce everyday traffic congestion on city streets.

TCAT is continually looking to increase its list of supporters. It
helps to be able to say how many people and organizations support the
work we do when we speak with City Councillors, City staff, and the
media, or put out a publication. Please send this message to any groups
or individuals you think would be interested in learning more about
TCAT, receiving our weekly e-Bulletin, or volunteering with TCAT.
